It is said that since the rumor of Shi Shen's political leader leaving, on the one-third of an acre of land in the government office, Li Tuiguan's prestige has risen to a higher level. Reached the top.

Even a tolerant and generous person like the old prefect Wang felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that the government was surnamed Li. In fact, he blamed himself for his lack of self-confidence, and if he replaced Chen Xundao, he would never have this feeling.

Not only the government office, but also for the Xu officials in Suzhou Mansion and even in the south of the Yangtze River, Master Li has become a real idol of the mountains, and even has a tendency to further deify.

Before Li Tuiguan started his business, he also worked as a servant and a small official, and he had the same background as them. But now Li Da is famous, famous, and prosperous, and there is no shortage of fame, beauty, and power. In addition, as an official, the nine-rank prefect and the seven-rank rush platform, it is so majestic.

No matter which of the above is the dream of the officials, but Master Li has done it all, can there be such a minister in the world, the reality is really more dramatic than the novel. Their former colleagues of Lord Li are still looking at the old man's face, and they are scolded at least and at worst. Compared with the situation, it is simply the gap between heaven and earth with the Western god model, in the hearts of tens of thousands of officials in the Jiangnan area, Li Tuiguan's belief value has exploded.

Changing to the god mode of the national dynasty, after Li Tuiguan ascends to heaven, there may be a temple such as Tuiguan Temple to be built, which will become a place for Xu officials to burn incense, and it is estimated that Lord Li can receive a lot of incense in the spirit of heaven for hundreds of years. Du Kang, Lu Ban, Zhong Kui, and Huang Po are among the ranks of folk immortals, and there is an extra god Li You.

If the people's hearts are like this, Li You, who said that he was not sick, went to the government office once after he got well. But he didn't show his eyes on things, he only met the prefect and disappeared from the office, which was quite a bit of a low-key style of pampering and not being shocked.

In this regard, Governor Wang was very pleased and moved, and secretly praised Li Tuiguan for being sensible and worthy of being a person who knows how to advance and retreat. It seems that although this person is often involuntarily high-profile, he still respects himself very much in his mind, at least he has a good attitude here. As long as we have this awareness, we can still work together in harmony in the future.

The move of the prefect of the Wang Mansion continued until the imperial court's edict to seek merit arrived at the palace, which probably means that he heard that Li Youzhi of Suzhou Mansion has a superior strength, has a recommendation from the secretary, and is authorized to study as a superintendent, and he can choose to enter Beijing if he intends to do so.

I see! Governor Wang suddenly realized, no wonder Li You's low-key abnormality was a long time ago. But why do you feel a little relieved all of a sudden?

Then he said to the left and right: "The imperial court has opened a grace prison, and Lord Li has this opportunity, which is really gratifying." ”

There is a right saying: "This order of the imperial court is not forcible, but also depends on the willingness of the people, and the subordinates feel that Master Li may not be willing to endure hardships and go to prison." ”

This... Governor Wang was entangled, even more entangled than Li Tuiguan, who had just heard the news. I really look forward to him going to study, everyone will get acquainted, and start and finish well... If Li You has no ambition and does not go to prison, his own light and the desire of the people in the palace now, make his four-grade prefect almost out of control. Although this situation was not deliberately caused by Lord Li, the situation is stronger than people.

"Send someone to invite Master Li over." The prefect of the king said to the long. He cared more than anyone about whether Li You would go to prison or not, and wanted to ask him face to face.

After a while, the official who went out to invite someone replied, "I went to the Li Mansion, and the Tao was that Master Li was not in the mansion, and the little one couldn't find anyone for a while." I only heard that he has been walking along the city wall in the west of the city these days, but I don't know why. ”

Wang Zhifu looked up from the window and looked outside, it was the sun shining in June, the hottest time of the year, the length of the west city wall was more than ten miles, every day to go around along the city wall, Li had nothing to do?

"The West is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the city. This must be that Master Li has the intention of going, and he is reluctant to give up, so he can't stop patrolling. A staff member said.

Wang Zhifu frowned and pondered, countless lessons and intuition told him that things related to Li You must not be so simple, and ordered: "Send more people to find him, see what he does." ”

Xia said that the days were long, and in the evening, the person who found Li Tuiguan's trace replied: "Master Li recited a few lines of poetry to the sunset in the city and went home." ”

"What did you read?"

"The little one only remembers that Shen Yuan is not a reverted pond or something."

This is Lu Fangweng's famous poem, Wang Zhifu silently recited again, "The city is painted with the sunset and the corner is mourning, Shen Yuan is not the old pond, and the spring waves under the bridge are sad, and it was a shocking shadow."

There is no need to ask anymore, poetry is the voice of the heart, it seems that Li Tuiguan has already made up his mind, and let him be, the prefect of the king said secretly.

After two more days, the prefect of Wang was taking a nap, and he slept soundly without worry, but was woken up. His entourage hurried into the house and reported, "Master! Li Tuiguan summoned the craftsmen and soldiers and blew a hole in the western city wall! ”

"Is this man crazy?" Wang Zhifu turned over in shock, what are you kidding? What is this behavior? blew up the city wall of Suzhou Mansion, but he, the prefect, didn't know? Li You is dying?

Immediately gathered the guard of honor and got on the sedan chair to go out on patrol. When he arrived at the place where the rumors were rumored, the prefect of Wang's mansion saw through the sedan curtain that a section of the city wall was missing. Hundreds of people below were moving bricks and stones, and the work was in full swing, while Li Tuiguan and a few craftsmen stood aside and pointed, as if discussing something.

"Xiaguan has seen Fuzun." Li You saw the prefect's honor guard from afar and hurried over to pay a visit.

Wang Zhifu jumped out of the sedan chair and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Too bold? ”

Li You calmly replied: "As a subordinate in charge of the construction of the city, he naturally has to do something. ”

"Then you shouldn't destroy the city wall without permission, aren't you afraid of official law!"

Li You took out the document and said: "The prime minister of the imperial court, Suzhou City Builder, Shi Dashen, agreed, why did he say it without permission?" ”

Wang Zhifu was speechless for a while, although everyone knew that Shi Dashen was leaving, but after all, he had not officially left office, and with his consent, it didn't seem to be arbitrary... In fact, it is still impossible for others to start construction without going through the prefect, but Li Tuiguan has the ability to organize artisan civilian service directly from the county, so there is no need to disturb the cleanliness of the prefect.

"What are you doing here?"

Li You pointed to the city wall and said, "The palace is honored and the officials will follow the officials to the city." ”

When they arrived at the city, Li You and Wang Zhifu held the battlements with their hands, looked around, and saw a world of flowers. Everywhere is densely populated, shops and buildings are everywhere, boats on the water are connected for several miles, and a city tower in the distance is the gate of Changmen. It is worthy of being the most prosperous place in the world, and there are poems and clouds "three thousand floors of green sleeves, and one million gold in the west and east".

"Throughout the city, only the west side of the business travel is the most dense, of which the northwest is the most prosperous, and Gaine is close to the canal and Tiger Hill. There are three west gates of Guanfu City, and only the Chang Gate is in the northwest. As a result, entering the city from the direction of the canal Fengqiao and Tiger Hill can only pass through the gate, resulting in the problem of congestion today, which is a major disadvantage of our house. Shi Dashen said that he wanted to expand the city wall, which was simply enough to fit his feet..."

Governor Wang interrupted Li You and said, "This official understands, do you mean to open the door here?" ”

"Not bad!" Li You nodded and said, "The lower officials have surveyed for a few times, and this place is better." It is located in the west, and in the south of the gate two miles, not far and not near, you can build a new city gate. And drain and dig ditches, communicate canals and ponds and mountain ponds outside the gate. As long as the water and land gates are repaired, they will definitely be able to decompose the troubles of the gates! ”

Wang Zhifu sighed, no wonder what Shen Yuan is not restoring the old pool, daring to love Li Tuiguan is not nostalgic but to create a new one, if there is a new one, it is naturally not a restoration of the old pool, and the result is misunderstood.

At this time, the craftsman who followed the city wall cowered and said: "The old man in the alley in the city said that the west belongs to gold, and with the feng shui of this mansion, there will be war and chaos when the west gate is opened." Therefore, the gate is in the northwest, the Xu gate, the southwest of the Panmen, for many years do not build the gate of the west. Please think again! ”

"Nonsense!" Li You reprimanded.

Wang Zhifu was worried: "But if you say this, don't cause panic among the people." ”

Li You scolded the craftsman again: "What a long brain! Don't you know this taboo? Who said the doorway to the west had to open to the west? Isn't it okay for the city wall to be surrounded by a protrusion, and the doorway is crooked and facing north? Another official wrote a prayer poem and burned it here, and reported it to heaven, what else do you have to say! ”

The prefect of the king remembered another question, "Where does this money come from?" There is nothing superfluous about the government now. ”

Li You didn't care and said: "Naturally, there are big donations. ”

Governor Wang finally remembered what was going on, "What are you going to do about the matter of Guozijian?" ”

Li You smiled mysteriously: "Guess the house? ”

The prefect of the king went down the city wall and returned to the palace. Thinking about it, he didn't know where Li You came from to be so active in repairing the city gate, was it really to do good things for his hometown fathers?

It is said that Shi Shenzheng is indeed a fair and selfless person. A few days ago, the assistant city construction officer, Lord Li, shamelessly slapped the report on repairing the city gate to the sub-department of the Provincial Guard, and the outgoing prime minister who was about to build the city Shi Shi participated in politics out of public intentions, and he really gave it approval, after all, this matter is beneficial to the country and the people.

This style made Master Li, who had another small abacus, very ashamed for a few moments.

The walls were demolished quickly, but repaired slowly. As soon as the demolition was carried out on June 24, Li You temporarily stopped work. Because today is the Lotus Festival, this is a unique event in Suzhou Province. Every year, a large number of scholars and women in the city pour out of the city gate to enjoy the lotus flowers in several famous lakes and ponds outside the city, especially in the area of the stone pond in the west.

This year, in addition to the gates of the West City, there is another way for the people in the city, which is the gap in the city wall that Li You blew up. With the flow of people coming in and out, gradually the news of Lord Li building a new door spread, and it also won a lot of praise [***].

Although Li Youkai seems to have committed a taboo by opening the West Gate, it is said that there is a way to resolve it and give psychological comfort. Prestigious people still have an advantage in doing these things, and they are easier to be trusted, even if it is nonsense.

Since then, there have been large families living near the gap to donate silver, after all, they are the ones who will directly benefit from the repair of this city gate.

This said that Li You went to the palace to inspect things, and the prefect Wang asked: "What is the name of this new city gate?" ”

"And some people went to the book, and they talked about it, and it was called the right door."

Wang Zhifu thought it was Youzi, and said in surprise: "Youmen? The word in your name? You're really..."

Li You laughed and said: "If Fu Zun thinks so, it's not impossible, but it's actually the right and left!" The convention on the picture, with the west as the right! ”

Right Gate, Youmen... He definitely deliberately came up with this name that reads like a pun, and the prefect said in his heart.

However, the prefect of the Wang Mansion can finally confirm that Li You is really going to Jingshi, which is probably just the last madness before leaving. If he still planned to be an official in the local area, he would never be so frank and publicized to this extent.

The name of a city gate may be immortal for thousands of years. The prefect of the king suddenly felt a little envious, and now only Li You can build this city gate.

"It's better not to be in prison." Li You sighed again: "I owe Qian Huangshang a favor, and I have to help him with the matter of river work, so the lower officials plan not to go..."

Governor Wang blurted out: "This matter is on this official!" You don't have to worry. ”
